The Post About $30 iTunes Giveaway

If you've read many of my Rabbit Recommends, then you know I'm a fan of the acoustic songwriter-ish types.

But I do have a few guilty pleasures who don't quite fit in any playlist. Those outcasts include Ke$ha, Flyleaf, Jay-Z, Selena Gomez, and La Roux.

They're best served on the side of organizing a closet.

So what about you? In exchange for your honesty, I'll give one forthright rabbit reader $30 in iTunes moolah.

Obviously, anonymous folks can't win unless they leave a name/email in the comment. Apple doesn't know me nor has any plans to break down my door.

I cannot live without musicals (Les Mis, Wicked, Rent, etc.), Chicago or Dan Folgerberg. I know that all of these are relatively embarrassing. (Although, I would challenge anyone who says they are not touched by the Folgerberg's "Same Auld Lang Syne.")

But, I also can't help myself when it comes to loving Jay-Z's, "I've Got 99 Problems but a B*&$% Ain't One."

And feel free to add any "Now That's What I Call Music" volume to my embarrassing list.

My secret music loves that no one knows about...hmm...I do like some Miley songs even though politically I'm anti-Miley. I'm open now about my love for Taylor Swift. It doesn't come up as much I guess but I do love some old random country. There's this older country station programmed in my car radio and I get really excited when they play The Judds and Dolly Parton. They've also been playing a lot of Louisiana Saturday Night lately which brings me a ridiculous amount of joy.

Let's see, my favorite music genre would be rock/alternative, and I'm very not-religious, so I do think people would be surprised to know that I absolutely LOVE the musical Jesus Christ Superstar. It started when my high school put on the production and I had friends performing so I saw it like 2 or 3 times, and then heard the original cast recording, and fell in love.

People (strangers, really) are often surprised that I listen to Japanese music, mostly anime theme songs. People who know me aren't surprised about my diverse taste in music at all. It kind of comes from being in choir for so long, which exposed me to a lot of genres.

that i my favourite music comes from Led zeppelin, pink floyd, ACDC and others of the 60's to the 80's. It would be odd because i am a 19 year old 5'2 petite blonde girl. I have had people tell me that they did not expect it..or question it by asking me questions about the musicians haha

I guess the thing people might be most surprised I have on my ipod is some good ole Veggie Tales ... especially considering I don't have children. But I have found that "God is Bigger Than the Boogie Man" can really calm one's nerves in fearful situations and "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" song really makes me feel successful just because I have in fact done some things.

Ha! Great question! I have surprisingly eclectic taste, so while my faves are things like The Pixies, Chili Peppers and Wyclef, some of my friends might be surprised to know that I also love Loretta Lynn and Patsy Cline! IN FACT, I actually own a box set of *The Queens of Country*! Okay, so I don't really go out announcing it, but I ain't ashamed!

I'm pretty old, but I have never stopped loving rock and roll. My husband loves elevator music, so we definitely have a conflict, and friends my age have never even heard of Adam Lambert or Rhianna, but I love it.

As someone primarily into alternative/indie/folk rock, people are usually surprised to learn that I like country pop like the Dixie Chicks and Shania Twain. They are also confused when they hear folk rock coming out of my speakers when they thought I liked emo (that was so early 2000s, ha).

It depends...a lot of my friends are learning that I'm a huge rock and roll girl..my favorite band is Muse, just saw them in vegas, seeing them again live this summer here in san Diego. But I also love the Mormon Tabernacle Choir!! Go figure. ;)Kelsey www.courageousmother.blogspot.com
